ATV day of sun & fun! - Our guide Danny was not only pleasant but knowledgeable as well. A fun guy to spend our morning with. The ATV ride was exhilarating.

Do not hesitate!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We had a great experience with AXR Jaco! We were able to book on short notice in the week between Christmas and New Years, which was a surprise. Our group of four (two adults and two teenagers) rented two ATVs for a two hour tour with a guide. Our guide Alberto took us up into the mountains and we were able to stop at a few different places to take photos and switch drivers. It was the perfect combo of thrill seeking and still feeling safe. Splashing through mud puddles and crossing a river were some of the highlights! 10/10 recommend.

Beautiful ride through... - Beautiful ride through rice field, river bed and mountain. Great way to see the country. Very nice area to take pictures at top of mountain and at waterfall

a blast! - it was our family’s highlight!!! a fun adventure going through river beds, stopping at beautiful vistas, great guides. we highly tecommend!!!

Amazing time in the rainforest - We had an amazing time during the four hour exterme rainforest tour. Pepe was our tour guide, and he was well versed in the history of the country and the area we traveled. We were the only vechile on the tour, so the experience was not delayed or rushed. During our time, we went to two waterfalls. One had a pool where we swam, an overlook that allowed us to see Manuel National Park Ocean and a restaurant in the mountains with delicious food and coffee. We sped through mud, rivers, dirt, and paved roads and went deep into the jungle. Our time and money were spent. I highly recommend this tour.

Atv buggy ride w/Patchy - Patchy (Pachito) was our guide and we had the time of our lives. The views were incredible and the trills were endless. We went all the up the mountains, hiked to a rainfall and took the atv buggy through the river. Patchy was very knowledgeable and lots of fun as well. Highly recommend 👍🏼

Great ride! - Second time with AXR and fantastic ride again. Pepe is great as guide. The experience is very organized and the ATV provided works for an experienced rider like me. Thanks for wonderful day and I plan to ride with AXR next time I come back to Costa Rica.

AXR Jaco 3-Hour ATV Tour: A Mixed Experience - Our recent 3-hour ATV tour with AXR Jaco was a memorable experience, with breathtaking views and exciting adventures, but it was overshadowed by some uncomfortable moments regarding tipping. Here’s a breakdown of our experience: The Positives - **Well-Maintained ATVs:** The ATVs appeared new and in excellent condition. It was evident that the staff prioritize their upkeep, which added to our confidence during the tour. - **Unique Private Experience:** We lucked out as the only group with our guide, Mikey, allowing for a more personal tour. - Scenic Stops: - The drive through Jaco to the farm and into the mountains was beautiful. Along the way, we spotted wildlife like a coyote, a snake, and turkey vultures. - The stop at the border of Puntarenas and San José Provinces provided stunning views of mountain peaks, perfect for photos. - Jaco Falls was a highlight, with an opportunity to swim and explore behind the waterfall—a truly refreshing and cinematic experience. - Rancho Shadday offered serene views of the mountains, and the plantain platter and a cold beer made for a relaxing break. - **Safety Measures:** The safety briefing was thorough, and clear instructions were provided for operating the ATVs. The Drawbacks - Excessive Focus on Tips: - The first mention of tipping during the safety briefing raised some red flags, as it felt premature to bring it up before the tour even began. - While we understand and empathize with the financial realities of local workers, the repeated emphasis on tipping—both during and after the tour—felt excessive and unprofessional. - The guide’s direct request for a higher tip after we gave the $10 we had budgeted for was uncomfortable. - **Mixed Professionalism:** - Our guide, shared personal details about his life and financial situation, which felt unnecessary and pressured us to contribute more. - Having a beer at the Shadday Ranch during the tour raised some concerns about the hardship of a financial situation in Costa Rica, with you only make $3/hour. Final Thoughts The tour itself was fantastic. The route, views, and overall experience provided a unique perspective on Costa Rica's beauty. However, the constant focus on tipping and the unprofessional behavior of the guide detracted from the overall experience. Recommendation I would recommend this tour for its scenic value and adventure. However, I would advise AXR Jaco to provide additional training for their guides to maintain professionalism and address the feedback about tipping etiquette. **Rating: 3/5 Stars**

Great trip bad customer service - We have used AXR for many years on our trip to CR. Keni and Gabriel are excellent guides they have always tried to show us different things on each trip. We prefer the buggy's feel like they are much safer. This past Feb.we had them booked and had to cancel part of our crew were not able to make the trip. Their cancellation policy is horrible and for that I will not use them again tho those two guides are super. Too bad they don't value a good relationship with past customers. I will use Piko travel from now on. They are very honest and trustworthy.
